Timetable

This is a rough timetable of what tasks we plan on getting done by when. We have planned our project out over 7 weeks.


Colour schemes.

After having a discussion with our client, we have two potential colour schemes.


The client would like the above colour scheme as her main colours she has used in the business previously are green and brown. However, if the green seems to not work, or doesn't look right, she has given us a different colour to use instead.


In my opinion, the yellow is a lot more suitable to the business, as green just reminds me of mould. This isn't the best colour to use for a food business!

Bakery website research.

To gain some inspiration for my group's bakery website, I have had a look at some existing ones.



My group particularly like the style of this website. It is very appealing, not too complicated and looks quite modern.

My group like the full size background image on this website.

This website stood out to us as it is bold, clear and has used a nice background image. 

Our client has specified that she wants green to be the main colour of the website. We felt as though this colour might not work but this website demonstrates it well.

Brief for my group client project.

Group client project - Shirebrook Homebake


Brief:
Design and build a website to the client’s needs, which will be made live. Must be done in HTML5 and CSS3 and to W3C standards. The website will need to include some javascript/Jquery and will be integrated into WordPress.

Background info:
Shirebrook Homebake is a small family bakery based in Shirebrook, Nottinghamshire. The bakery has been open since 1980 and attracts a lot of customers from around the Mansfield area. A vast majority of the customers at the bakery are elderly, so usability needs to be taken into great consideration when designing the website. There is an existing logo and business card for the bakery.

Client requirements:
Produce a website in WordPress to allow them to add pictures/change content at their discretion.
Produce a product list with prices as a separate PDF to be downloadable.
Include a contact/enquirey form.
Use the logo on the front page
Follow the colour scheme on the business card (Green, white, black & brown).
Make the website as appealing & creative as possible, but don’t over complicate it because of the wide range of ages that would use the site.
Make the website appealing to other businesses for wholesale opportunities. Perhaps make this as a separate page with a link on the home page?

Pages to include:
Home
About
Images - Products, shop & bakery?
Product list with prices - As a page or downloadable PDF?
Location - Where to find us etc.

THIS WEBSITE IS TO BE COMPLETED & SUBMITTED BY FRIDAY JUNE 1ST 2012.
